Unity: Too many clicks required.

In a German computer magazine (3/2011 www.pcpraxis.de) Windows 7 has been compared to Ubuntu 10.10. There were 10 tasks which were solved with Windows 7 or with Ubuntu 10.10. Windows 7 need 132 clicks and 93 clicks for Ubuntu 10.10. The introduction of Unity has worsened for me the click efficiency.
Examples:
1) I would like to see the date. In Unity, I must click on the time (not in Windows 7).
2) I work and listen to music. The music I like just fine and I would like to know what song is playing. I must click on the icon and then on the speaker program Rhythmbox for more details. In Windows 7 (I use Winamp) it is made much better. Also in GNOME 2.3 (e.g. the next song), it was made better for me.
My wish: Examine and improve the efficiency of mouse clicks.

Many tokens/passwords etc are stored in the user keyring and unlocked at login, most users passwords are relatively poor and a lost/stolen laptop is subject to an unlimited number of attempts to guess the login password.

To make it possible to arrange several windows or applications into a useful workplace situation or use-case coverage it should be possible with as few interactions as possible to get tiling to work also without completely reorienting every window and getting confused.
I thought of describing a collection of windows, fully partially or not at all overlapping, using one grid (as in Microsoft Windows Metro, only that Windows Metro doesn't look like it supports overlapping in a smart way). I think this can be done using negative spaces where they overlap.
An intuitive approach follows:

In unity you remove one usefull thing from gnome 3 - windows and workplaces exposition when you move mouse to upper left corner.

Upgrade distro is a slow process
It is faster to install from USB with unetbootbin or Multisystem and format /
If you have a /home partition ...
An alternative method can be to download the ISO of the new version to /home
Update grub2 to boot from that ISO
Boot from that iso, format / and install the new version.
Of course better if you have / and /home at the same partition an option to split / and /home
